I skipped the Good Guys show this weekend to get some needed progress done on the 30. I really want to get moving on this truck but there are so many aspects to this build that I have to go slow to make sure I do it all just right. Rear frame geometries are all dependent on the stance of the front X member and spindles. I don't want to make the back frame so the rear end is lower than the front.

My goal is to get the front lowered so I can match the rear end.

So this was good progress for me today. I was by myself and the engine hoist was on the beginning of the slope of my driveway and I was a bit nervous that it might start rolling down the hill. Turns out the lifting and moving the engine/trans was actually the easiest part of the day. Breaking 50 years of rust and grime loose was much more difficult.
